Technically brilliant

I had a little DIY project involving a mechanism with a variable centre of gravity. The website calculator was incredibly versatile, but easy to use, so that I could tune the inputs to get a gas spring that perfectly matched my requirements. Because it was a 'not quite standard' application, I emailed their support contact to check my assumptions and very rapidly got a reply from their director confirming it was ok. I ordered the parts and they arrived within a couple of days and it worked perfectly.

Postage cost spoiled an otherwise pleasant transaction

Slight delay at enquiry due to requesting information from Germany. All staff very pleasant to deal with. Proceeded to purchase but felt the transaction was spoiled due the the ridiculous postage cost.

Helpful website and design suite. Products ordered totaled nearly £300. Still waiting for them. Most suppliers I use for business once your over the £100 your usualy next day for the product........we're nearly a week now

💬 Gasspringsshop.co.uk 30 October 2026:

Hello Tim, thank you for your very kind words, I must say of which they are not true:
1, You placed your order (thank you) on 27th October I write your reply today on the 30th October, so I fail to see where you get 'nearly a week now' from??
2, We dispatched you order the very same day (our fantastic service), DHL have informed you of their progress throughout the delivery process.
3, DHL are having issues finding your address of which I'm trying to resolve, rather than leave a review like you have, please call, email, to investigate where your goods are.

Helpful Solution

I decided, after 6 years, to hinge the front security panel to my garden bar and investigated the possibility of gas springs. I found the website initially very helpful and indicated that this was a feasible solution to me having to lift the panel on and off every time. I had to modify the panel, to enable hinges being placed and then used the web based calculator. The anchor positions were not straight forward, due to cross members, but I adjusted the suggested positions until a feasible location was attained. I was still a little nervous when ordering, but I worked to the downloaded plan and the struts work almost perfectly. When lifting the panel, it doesn't push all the way to the horizontal, but I easily lift it the last few inches and it stays in place. I am very happy with the result and so is my back. If anything, I must say that I became a little confused at times with some sections of the calculator, but the resulting animation of the movement looked fine, so I was happy to place the order.

Cracking firm to deal with

What could be simpler than using the gas spring calculator, hit order and get your installation instructions/dimensions with your invoice, prompt dispatch and delivery by a decent courier.

Tried the original supplier for the gas springs but never got a reply so find this company on line and could make my gas springs on there web page almost the correct size but fitted today on my Ace Brooklands boot lid works great.

Very very poor

See below two emails you have not replied to detailing how you appear to have wrongly charged me VAT and did not make me aware of additional chahrges for shipping to Ireland or else didnt know. Sent: Thursday, October 8, 2026 11:57 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Attn Nick Sawyer Further to my email of yesterday I have now received my order (WS28996GB) via UPS. The UPS delivery docket includes taxes of €19.16 ( which I presume is irish VAT) on top of a customs duty of €3.00. There is also a UPS handling fee of €22.94. I can provide a receipt if necessary. Your docket which was attached is for £69.02 and includes £21.50 for shipping and £11.50 VAT. As a result I have ended up paying €126 for a €55 gas strut. I find this particularly irritating because - as you will see from the email chain below, I specifically asked about additional charges and understood from your reply that they would be visible at the checkout. I am not sure what can be done at this stage but I would assume you can at least refund UK VAT. I might also suggest that you redirect customers from the Republic of Ireland to one of your sister sites in the EU. I was going to use one of them but understood from your email that additional charges would be visible at check out and given there were none I proceeded to make the purchase. Yours John McManus From: John McManus Sent: Wednesday, October 7, 2026 8:39 PM To: Shop Subject: Re: Replacement gas strut Hi I was charged VAT on this transaction as per invoice but have also been charged VAT in Ireland. Can you arrange a refund please.

Great online calculator to work out the spring size and, importantly, the fixing details and location. Fixed the springs exactly as shown on the calculation and they worked a treat. Highly recommend.

Easy to use website with excellent help

The on site calculator is a win, able to type in all dimensions & weights, then a recommended size of strut is given along with fitting dimensions. (One thing I would like added is +/- fitting tolerance) Product is good quality & works well
